ART U Closes Regular Season With PRs In SF

2017 West Coast Last Chance Meet Results
2017 All On The Line With Harry Marra Results

SAN FRANCISCO – A blustery Saturday out at SF State's Cox Stadium featured numerous personal records for Academy of Art University track & field in the University of San Francisco's West Coast Last Chance Meet.

15795The day's biggest move up on the national list was Marion Presigny in the 100m hurdles. She advanced into the country's top 15 with a 13.80 personal best. On the men's side, Quinlan Wright won the 110m hurdles with a time of 14.52.

Though some lineup shuffling occurred in the women's 4x400m relay, a NCAA provisional mark still emerged. It was Schae Graham, Jasmine Grace, Beatriz Martinez Mercado, and Mistic Scott who combined for a 3:46.93 which put them just 0.16 behind the time ran by the team of Folke Woch, Graham, Hannah Hensley, and Martinez Mercado at the Cardinal Classic.

Highlighting the 1500m, Emily McCarty finished her collegiate career in style with a personal best. She dropped more than six seconds off her previous career-low, won her heat, and crossed the finish line into hugs from a collection of her teammates.

In his lone race of the day, Mobolade Ajomale exited the 100m victorious with a 10.32 that was nearly half a second faster than the next closest finisher. The women's 100m saw a +2.9 wind factor in, but Amanda Odesjo concluded her career on a personal best 12.18.

15794Desmond Deshay delivered a pair of personal records on the day, offering an 11.07 alongside Ajomale in the in 100m then later took a second off his 200m best with a 22.47 effort.

A distance of 23-9.5 (7.25m) was enough to earn Michane Ricketts the victory in the long jump on his final attempt.

With three of his teammates in his 400m heat, Kaze Poitier crossed the finish line below 50.00 for the first time in his freshman season, going 49.80 for the personal record.

During the early part of the day's action, Briaunna Caver matched her personal best in the high jump, clearing a height of 4-11 (1.50m).

In the 1500m, Pierre Fontanarosa finished ninth of 40 in with a time of 3:53.68. Later in the 800m, Kristian Martinez beat out nine others in his heat, posting a final mark of 1:56.56.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -- One Urban Knight, Folke Woch, headed down to Southern California for Westmont's All On The Line With Harry Marra meet. She would place third of 10 in the heptathlon with 4697 points after taking second in both the shot put (personal record 38-4.75 / 11.70m) and 800m (2:24.04). She remains 21st in the country in the heptathlon.
